The only province in China without an emperor is Shandong Province. In the thousands of years' history of China from Qin Dynasty to Qing Dynasty, there are more than 400 recorded emperors. The origins of these emperors basically include the major mainstream provinces in the Central Plains, but there is no Shandong Province.
Xueba Province:
Shandong has cultivated Confucius, a cultural saint, and Confucianism and Confucius have been highly respected by successive dynasties. Especially in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu put forward the suggestion of ousting a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone, which made Confucianism flourish. Since then, generations of Confucian children have continuously developed Confucianism in the process of studying and evolved into various academic forms such as Neo-Confucianism and psychology.
Therefore, a large number of outstanding talents, such as Wang Yangming and Huang Zongxi, were trained, and all of them were able to become the pillars of peace and stability in the country at that time, which shows how important Confucianism played in talent training at that time.
